I was making kind of a joke to someone and I told them that I was going to put one motor in the front and in the back of the car! He told that it's possible! That with a computer that controls the engines it could be done! Is it possible?

I've been told that synthetic oil is better for the car engine and can last longer between oil changes. Is that true?

What tools would be required? About how long would it take someone who's swapped a motor before? Are there any step by step guides out there that I'm unaware of? I have a rod knock in my motor and am trying to save myself a grand and pull the motor myself to have it fixed. I've pulled and swapped a motor from a Nissan 240sx before and swapped clutches. What should I expect? Any tips?

Okay, I'm driving along and suddenly encounter a queue of about 6-7 cars travelling at just under 15 mph. I then pass the obstacle- a cyclist, who has refused to pull over to let the lorry immediately behind him overtake. The lorry couldn't get past because it was narrow and there was oncoming traffic.
Since there was a place to pull in, and cyclists shouldn't even be on A roads at all, let alone in the rush hour, I hoot. To this, the response, is the dirty old man sticks his middle finger up. I give this lowlife a dirty look, to which he bellows a couple of f's and c's before I'm out of earshot. The middle finger is also held up until I'm well out of eyesight.
What's worse is my parents are in the car, and my mum was particularly upset by this man's behaviour as she is very sensitive to that kind of thing.

Is it worth buying a second hand engine for $1000 or getting a refund and buying another car? I don't know much about cars, or how much this type of car is worth.

It will stay on for anywhere from 5 minutes to 15 then go back off. The coolant isnt low because I have checked it and the overflow isnt empty either. I'm a female so I would rather depend on you mechanical men here on Yahoo Answers than go to a random auto shop and be taken for my money...any advice is greatly appreciated!

I bought a Second Hand Honda CRV 2003 .
I am facing a problem on the driver's side door.
I have 2 keys & a remote. I sometimes need to use the key to open and lock the door since u cant always depend on the remote.
I took the CRV to 3 local Car Key Dealers , they told me that all Honda Vehichles have the same key issue. meaning after 2-3 yrs problems begin.

So they told me that they need to change the lever inside the and they willl only give me a guarantee of 6 months only.
After that they wont be responsible.

The agent tells me that the ywill only replace complete lock since they dont repair them.

Ships have air-conditioning too. For landed buildings I understand that the cooling system involves chillers. How about ships?

I have looked time and time again but cannot figure out where you put the power steering fluid in my car. Is it at the bottom of the engine? Where is the fill spout?

Whenever I use my windscreen wipers on my car it doesn't matter if its slamming it down with rain or just a light drizzle they always squeak! Sometimes it gets so loud you have to shout over the noise just to be heard by the person sat next to you, surely I'm not the only one with this problem. They don't need replacing as I have checked them and their fine. Please do not post any stupid answers on here, as it is a pure waste of time, Thanks

If so, what do you remember about it, or them?

Do you own one or more of these three cars now?

Would you like to?

I once owned a 1964 CORVAIR MONZA, and a 1977 CHEVETTE.

The Corvair was a two speed dash mounted selector automatic with AC, fun and kinda fast for what it was.

The Chevette was a no AC, stripped down model with a 4 speed, slow, high interior noise and rode like a shopping cart.

I'm trying to rule out things like relays. The battery was bought about 3 months ago. When you try to crank the car, there is nothing. You plug it up to another vehicle and it doesn't give enough power to start the engine. I don't want to have to spend the time and the money to replace the alternator if that's not the problem. I'm almost 5 months pregnant and can't get underneath vehicles like I once did. So... give me some sound advice any mechanics out there.

Have heard people talking about motard, super motard etc. What is it exactly? A type of bike? And its different from a scrambler right?

Anyone else have this problem? I wanted to find out first to see if the problem was something loose or if it was something worse that would cost a lot to fix. Any ideas on what could fix it or what it is? Have not been able to open the dash up and check. Just wanted to know if the car was worth putting money into.
